This award is a planning grant for the Spectrum Innovation Initiative: National Center for Wireless Spectrum Research (SII-Center). The focus of a spectrum research SII-Center goes beyond 5G, IoT, and other existing or forthcoming systems and technologies to chart out a trajectory to ensure United States leadership in future wireless technologies, systems, and applications in science and engineering through the efficient use and sharing of the radio spectrum. The objective of this project is to lay the foundations to establish the new Spectrum Innovation Initiative (SII) center NASCE: A National Spectrum CEnter for convergent research on transformative approaches to develop new spectrum science and technology. Today’s wireless spectrum is exceptionally crowded. It is expected that by 2025, over 75 billion devices will be absorbed into the Internet, generating a global network of “things'' of dimensions never seen before, all in need of unbounded wireless access. Beyond the clear commercial strategic needs, technologies such as 5G and the Internet of Things (IoT) are also critical for national security, shaping a technological revolution with far-reaching social, economic, and geostrategic consequences. Wireless systems will continue to change the way we live, work, manufacture goods, and protect our citizens. Furthermore, the role that wireless connectivity is playing as a unique vehicle to provide work and educational opportunities during the current COVID-19 pandemic—especially in rural areas—cannot be overstated. The overarching objective of this center is to foster the creation of next generation wireless systems capable of using the whole wireless spectrum, from a few Hertz (Hz) to Terahertz. The team will conduct advanced research in technology areas in support of the commercial sector, all segments of the wireless market, defense and intelligence agencies, in cooperation with leading industries in the field. All center activities are designed to prepare students and continuous learners for careers in spectrum-related fields via experiential learning, research, new workshops and shareable educational modules. The research promoted by this project is organized into three interdependent research thrusts: (i) Conquering the spectrum, with a focus on interdisciplinary approaches for broadening existing available spectrum options; (ii) programming the spectrum, for developing the foundations of applying modern data-driven techniques and software-defined networking for blue-sky approaches to spectrum sharing and exploitation; (iii) protecting the spectrum, for new algorithms and systems for reliable exploitation of the available spectrum in civil and contested environments, and protecting incumbent users. Orthogonal and pervasive to these fundamental thrusts, center plans and operations will be informed by the following technological themes: (a) policing the spectrum, with the twofold aim of providing technology for enforcing regulatory policies, and providing key agencies with technological and policy advice to shape the wireless future of our nation; (b) an Artificial Intelligence approach to new data-driven techniques for inference and control of large amount of spectrum data, and (c) perform and enable large scale experimentation and emulation thanks to our privileged access to NSF PAWR platforms, Colosseum, the largest RF networked channel emulator in the world, and to a Terahertz wireless networking testbed.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

Beyond the clear commercial strategic needs, technologies such as 5G and the Internet of Things (IoT) are also critical for national security, shaping a technical revolution with far-reaching social, economic, and geostrategic consequences. Wireless systems will continue to change the way我们的生活，制造商品和保护我们的公民，在当前的Covid-19 Pandemic中，无线连通性作为提供工作和教育机会的独特作用，尤其是在粗糙的领域中，这是该中心的总体目标与该领域的主要行业合作，在支持商业领域的所有领域，无线市场，国防和情报机构的所有领域进行高级研究。所有中心活动旨在通过经验丰富的学习，研究，新的研讨会和可共享的教育模块为学生和持续学习者的职业做好准备。该项目促进的研究被组织为三个相互依存的研究推力：（i）征服频谱，重点是跨学科方法，以扩大现有的可用光谱选项； （ii）对频谱进行编程，以开发应用现代数据驱动技术和软件定义的网络的基础，以用于蓝色的频谱共享和开发的蓝色基础； （iii）保护频谱，用于新算法和系统，以可靠地利用民用和有争议的环境中可用频谱，并保护现任用户。以下技术主题将告知这些基本推力，中心计划和行动的正交和广泛性：（a）政策范围，其双重目的是为执行监管政策提供技术，并提供关键的机构，并提供技术和政策建议，以塑造我们国家无线未来的未来未来的未来； （b）一种针对新的数据驱动技术推理和控制大量频谱数据的一种人工智能方法，并且（c）由于我们对NSF PAWR平台的特权访问，COLOSSEUM，COLOSSEUM，COLOSSEUM，COLOSSEUM，COLOSSEUM，COLOSSEUM，COLOSSEUM，COLOSSEUM，世界上最大的RF网络模拟器和世界上的陈述均已启用了Terahertz型陈述，并构成了Teraherthements terf terf tesf，这是对NSF PAWR平台的执行和启用。诚实地通过评估来诚实地使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。
